General Discussion

The DU profile's contents is up to each user. That's how it should be. I include information about myself, but I'm not bothered by people who don't.

Up to the individual user. I don't look further, but I do look at profiles sometimes.

I also mentioned in this thread that I have had occasion to search for and find posters on various sites who doxxed me and threatened me. Not here. Elsewhere. I am pretty good at finding out who people are, even if they try to hide their identities. Most people are not very smart about that, and use the same screen names on multiple sites. They often give personal information without thinking about it. Sometimes, they even reveal their real names on forums and social media sites. It's surprising. Then, too, people tend to talk about hobbies and other subjects, wherever they post.

When I have been threatened by someone in some way, I change my approach and am willing to spend the time needed to find out who that person is. It's not easy, by any means, and it's crucial to make sure you have the right person. Then, I handed that information to an attorney I know, with all documentation, and let the attorney do the contacting and informing of that person. Every time, that has put an end to the threats and attacks.

But, I'm all for anonymity. I don't bother too much with it. Like I said, anyone with a little talent can find out who MineralMan is and more. Even that can be confusing, because there is more than one MineralMan out there. One of them is even in the same business I used to be in. Unfortunate for him, but we have been in contact and he's aware and OK with the issue.

I don't care who Cirsium is. To me, you're just a screen name on DU. That's just fine. I'm not interested beyond that.
